Padfield Village Image Gallery

The gallery area is a place where we can all enjoy a collection of photographic images depicting Padfield and its various locales, from its industrial heyday to present day. Some images depict our village from various vantage points throughout the differing seasons of the year. Others show how the landscape differed in an industrial backdrop. In some respects, Padfield has changed dramatically over the years, in others it has changed very little. Now, the village has settled in more recent times and has a somewhat laid back feel to it, surrounded by beautiful countryside and big skies.​

Photographing Padfield Project

This is a new concept to the site. It was brought about with the aim to provide a collection of village scenes from different vantage points throughout the changing seasons of the year. The idea is simple enough and relies only on the good old fashioned British weather to do its utmost and behave as best it can during the seasonal changes.

With this in mind, the focus of the project is to walk the village and the surrounding countryside during each season and capture a various selection of scenes depicting the village and local landscape. This isn't a serious photographic study in the concept of light and art, it is simply a bit of fun that we hope you, the viewer, draw in some enjoyment from seeing the village in all its beauty at different times of the year.
